107.1 The Big Wazoo is no more!

I always thought it kind of ironic that a 3K Class A in Marysville had the word Power in its moniker.  Of course, when NCI would taunt them by screaming about its "175 Thousand Kilowatts," the Pig would come back with, "Broadcasting with 3 Million Milliwatts!"  And they were telling the truth.
 
We used to monitor nci and when they went into a stopset, we would run the "The Power Pig is jammin while the other guys play commercials...go ahead, check for yourself, we'll wait" drop. Highlight of every airshift!
 
I know this thread has gotten off-topic, but what current station do you think represents what The Power Pig/Hot 105 would be playing if it were still around?
 
I've traveled recently through Cleveland, Dayton, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis so you can scratch all those cities off the list of having anything close to what Power Pig/Hot 105 was back in the day.
 
I used to work there when it was WNRE-FM. 1980-81. It was AC during the day and Beautiful music at night. Yes, Nelson R Embrey owned the station (along with WNRE-AM 1540..now dark) and the FM was in mono off a really short stick in downtown Circleville. I still remember having to make sure that I was using turntable one to backtime into the TOH AP News because turntable two was on the same pot as AP. The FM used to sign off at 10:30pm after I read the Hospital report. Nelson also used to stand on the back porch and shoot at the groundhogs tearing up his AM ground system...God bless him. Hard to believe that I actually put together a great 25 year major market career after starting out there.
